Rule 1

Rule 1 : I NEED A REASON GREATER THAN REALITY

The power of spirit. If you ask most people if they would like to be rich or financially free, they would say "yes." But then reality sets in. The road seems too long with too many hills to climb. It's easier to just work for money and hand the excess over to your broker. 

I once met a young woman who had dreams of swimming for the U.S Olympic team. The reality was, she had to get up every morning at 4 a.m. to swim for three hours before going to school. She did not party with her friends on Saturday night. She had to study and keep her grades up, just like everyone else

When I asked her what compelled her with such super-human ambition and sacrifice, she simply said, "I do it for myself and the people I love. It's love that gets me over the hurdles and
sacrifices."

A reason or a purpose is a combination of "wants" and "don't wants." When people ask me what my reason for wanting to be rich is, it is a combination of deep emotional "wants" and "don't
wants."

My List of Wants :

1) want to travel across the globe

2) Want a theatre to be in my home

3) I want to decide how i should spend my time not anyone else

4) I want to have freedom to do anything anytime, without taking permissions

5) Want to buy a yacht

6) Want to buy Mercedes Benz

My List of Don't Wants :

1) I don't want to ask someone when to leave

2) I don't want to be slave of someone

3) I don't want a boss

4) I don't want to travel in trains

5) I don't want third graded furniture

6) I don't want small house

7) I don't want to think about money first without considering what i want in life.

Those are my deep-seated, emotional reasons. What are yours? If they are not strong enough, then the reality of the road ahead may be greater than your reasons. 

I have lost money and been set back many times, but it was the deep emotional reasons that kept me standing up and going forward. I wanted to be free by age 40, but it took me until I was 4? with many learning experiences along the way.

As I said, I wish I could say it was easy. It wasn't, but it wasn't hard either. But without a strong reason or purpose, anything in life is hard
